    Who would use soap outta that? Certainly not I. Here's why:

    Very disgusting. I carry my bag in with clothes, shower shoes, soap and anything else I need.

    I carry everything in a Blackhawk bug bag. Inside of the bag I carry all my supplies in separate zip lock bags except my flip flops which I blow dry after use.

    I would pass on the green soap at pilot/flying J, who knows what that crap is. I carry a little purell bottle refilled with real soap. Watch out for the towels at the Loves or Pilot/ Flying J, they smell like they were used to scrub the toilets and re folded for next driver. :biggrin_25512:

    Here's a concept, whatever you would use at home when showering, put in a small bag and take it with you. When you get back home restock the kit. Sheesh, some of these questions and concerns are quite funny.

    Six years ago a few of my buddies and I left South Florida on our bikes and took a 45 day trip to Alaska, there's only so much you can pack on a bike, I made sure I had wipes and my tooth brush, the rest was gotten along the way. In a truck you have a little more room to carry whatever you might need for hygiene. I wonder why we never have a woman on here asking the same question? I'm quite sure she knows what to carry.

    Did you shower before you became a trucker? If the answer is yes then I'd pack the same things you used before trucking. Could work!

    It ain't the green soap that scares me away, it's whats in it. Those ain't white floating clouds in the picture I posted

    I was just wondering what folks packed because I know public showers often need a gallon of Clorox and full hazmat gear

    Most important part of my bag? Flip Flops! I refuse to stand on some strange tile shower floor wondering if the person before me pissed, jerked off, or took a deuce, then washed it down the drain. Sorry, but as much as we need the showers, after 33 years of this, I have my doubts about the shower attendants.
